Renal Ultrasound
Renal ultrasound is generally recommended in the initial work-up for patients with FSGS. Renal ultraound helps identify the size and the echogenicity of the kidneys.
Renal Ultrasound
There is no echocardiography associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Findings on an ultrasound diagnostic of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis include:[1]
- In early stage of FSGS, kidneys are either normal or enlarge in size.
- Later stage of FSGS, kidneys are smaller in size dueto fibrosis.
- In HIV patients, kidneys are lager in size.
